Justify is 2/3 of the way to the Triple Crown and the first since American Pharoah in 2015.
He had to battle fog and rain as well as fighting off Good Magic who pressed him the whole way and fending off hard charging Bravazo and Tenfold, who finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. 
He now moves to the 150th running of the "Test of Champions", the Belmont Stakes.

2018 Kentucky Derby

May 5th 2018

"Justify", the horse looking to end "The Curse of Apollo" for horses that did not race as a 2 year old but ran in the Kentucky Derby as a 3 year old, and he did just that.  Ending the 136 year old "curse" that Apollo put in place after winning the 1882 Derby.   
Justify would be the best of the best on a very muddy Churchill Downs track winning in 2:04, the slowest Derby since 2010 and the 6th straight favorite to win the race.

Winner : Justify  2:04.20
